Electronic Signal Interference
Good Evening, dark passengers. Welcome to a Supernatural Saturday that is of a more personal nature for me. You might ask if all blogs aren’t personal for me. Well, not like this. You see, I don’t have any sources to cite as I present this paranormal topic.
I am the source; I am the research.
You see, I like to pretend to be a mere observer to the realm of all things paranormal. I want to be skeptic. Unlike Mulder, I don’t want to believe.
When I was a girl, I stopped watches. I don’t know how or why, but watches would just stop dead on my wrist. For a long time, that went away. Over the last few years, I’ve noticed that my watch would be dead on my wrist so I’d think, “Gee, better get a new battery for it” and that would be that. The next day, I’d put the stopped watch on so I wouldn’t feel naked without it, fully intending to stop at the mall for a battery on the way home. You probably already know where I’m going with this, right? You already know I’m going to say the watch was working just fine.
But watches just do that. Right?
Let’s talk about traffic signals. You know how in the movie someone will just sort of smile at the light and all the signals in their path will go green so they can breeze right through? That doesn’t happen to me. For me, lights go from green to red without warning and without turning amber. Oddly, the Walk sign doesn’t always go to Don’t Walk when this occurs. That wouldn’t be so bad, I suppose. I mean, running a red light isn’t really the worst thing one could do. Well, actually, it sort of is when an 18-wheeler comes out of nowhere and flies through the intersection just in front of me. Good thing I had a feeling a split second before that the light was going to go wonky on me and slowed down in advance of needing to stop.
I could keep on telling y’all about how when I go under street lamps at night, they go off as pass under them. I could tell you all about the day I was in the car with my husband in broad daylight and I thought, “I want that street lamp just in front of the Dairy Queen to come on” and it did. I could tell you about all these things and it wouldn’t make a damn bit of difference because I can’t tell you why these things happen.
Once, a while back, I came across an internet article about this phenomena. I glanced and moved on, not really caring. You see, there was a time when I refused to see those things right in front of my face. I refused to accept all things paranormal. I wish I hadn’t.
I can’t find the article now. It might not even exist now. Electronic Signal Interference, or ESI, is paranormal in nature. That’s all I remember.
Has anyone out there ever heard of this? Is there something electrical I throw off that messes with things? Is there some paranormal quality about me?
Why is each and every day my own personal paranormal phenomena?

I wish I could help ya chicky! All I can say is you must be strong as hell to go through these things on a daily basis. I don’t think I could do it. Hopefully someone will be able to tell you something.
Oh wow. I feel a little weird just reading your post. I had no idea others have been afflicted with this also. I too kill electrical appliances. When I was a kid, in the 7th or 8th grade, I actually got kicked out of computer lab because every time I sat down at the computer to use, the computer went all funky and died on me. The lab teacher thought I was doing it on purpose, but I knew next to nothing about computers, and couldn’t have done it on purpose if my life depended on it.
It got so bad that my parents also banned me from the family computer at home, because it kept dying when I used it too. One day a friend of mine came over, and we wanted to use the computer, and my parents would only allow it if my friend was the one using it, and I sat as far as I could away from it.
Watches never had a chance with me either. I kill them off regularly. It’s rather sad, but then again, it gives me a chance to buy a new watch regularly, so I don’t get sick of wearing the same one over and over again!
As I’ve gotten older, it’s gotten a little better, but still, since marrying my husband almost 7 years, I have gone through 5 computers. No joke. They just start to act wonky on me, and freak out, and we have to buy a new one. The thing is, I always give my old one to my siblings, and they are able to use the laptops for years after it’s completely quit working for me. It’s gotten to the point that we buy the absolute cheapest laptop when we go to buy a new one, because it gets expensive having to buy a new one almost every year.
But when I tell others about this…strange effect that I have on computers and watches, they all think I am either lying or crazy. So my family knows, and my husband, but this is the first time I’ve talked about it publicly for a very long time. I’m just really glad to know that I’m not the only one.
As for light bulbs, I don’t know that I’ve ever affected them. Perhaps I will have to pay attention…

Dizzblnd - Thanks so much for those sites. This is great!
Star - You give me too much credit, chick. I just made an effort to act normal when I was up at your house. You didn’t get to see the times I act like a paranormal psycho who tries to turn the tv on from across the room by willing it to come on. Of course, you know me well enough to know I’d probably run out of the house screaming in terror if I ever succeeded.
Hava - Wow. Sounds like you’ve got it worse than me.
I might have to deal with street lights going crazy, but (to my knowledge) I’ve never rendered a computer useless. They normally die of old age after a few years. (You hear that, right potential employers? Having me on payroll won’t cost you a fortune in computer repairs.)
Prabakaran - Thanks!
